Character history

Lenny Avery is, in 2013, a real estate developer and former partner of Josh Bernstein, running his own company and website where he sells homes in northern Los Santos, such as Vinewood Hills and Rockford. He had previously sold houses in a new development in North Chumash and, after mud slides, consulted his lawyer. He was told, by his lawyer, that he was not responsible for any damages suffered by those who had moved to the development. Shortly before the events of GTA V, he had successfully lobbied to have Bernstein's estate licence revoked, becoming the sole owner of their company. Bernstein later hires Trevor Philips to knock down his for sale signs at various houses in northern Los Santos and then to threaten Lenny who attempts to escape in his green Comet. Lenny agrees to leave Bernstein alone before running away from Trevor.
